Extra marks for students whose parents vote
Bengaluru, May 04, 2018 00:00 IST
In a competitive education system, every mark counts. With that in mind, children who go to private schools are likely to urge parents to exercise their franchise on May 12. The reason? Many private State board schools across Karnataka have decided to award children four marks in their mid-term examination if their parents cast their vote. If only one parent votes, the student will be given two marks. Managements said the reason behind the initiative is to improve voter turnout.
